Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas is an SSE-facing beach break in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It picks up swell from SE to SSW and SSW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 38% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
